Breast Reconstruction with Fat Grafting

When a woman undergoes surgery for breast cancer, she can expect to experience the removal of some or all of her breast tissue. For many of these women, an important part of her recovery and reclamation of her normal life is achieved by breast reconstruction. And whether it is performed as part of the original cancer surgery, or later after her cancer treatment has been completed, breast reconstruction using fat grafting can produce natural and attractive breasts using the material most compatible with a woman’s body: her own fat cells.

An innovator in breast reconstruction surgery, Dr. Lisa Casselith understands the difficulties faced by women undergoing breast cancer treatment extremely well. Each year, she performs hundreds of breast reconstruction surgeries. Now, using fat grafting, Dr. Casselith makes it possible for you to lose unwanted fat from other parts of your body, and transfer it to your breasts, where it is used to help reconstruct your natural, attractive figure.

How does fat grafting work?

The fat grafting procedure is relatively simple, but it is carefully tailored to each woman and her specific needs. First, Dr. Cassileth removes the fat using liposuction. The fat is removed from an area of your body where it is not needed or desired: abdomen, torso or thighs.

Next, the suctioned fluid is processed into pure fat, which can be selected to create higher enriched stem cell concentrations. Stem cells have unique rejuvenating features, and can enhance both the healing and beauty of your final result.

Dr. Cassileth will use the the processed fast cells by injecting them into areas where they are most needed for your particular surgery: for example, above the implant, where the edge of the implant is often visible, or all around the breast, which will prevent any implant rippling from becoming apparent.

With a full mastectomy, Dr. Cassileth can also perform full coverage, or large volume fat grafting. By adding a layer of fat to the entire surface of the breast, this procedure will naturalize and soften the breast, making it more like your own natural breast tissue. Using this unique and revolutionary procedure, Dr. Cassileth can create breasts for her patients that look incredibly natural, full and beautiful.

Fat grafting works for breast augmentation, too

Many women would consider this offer “too good to be true.” But it’s real, it’s here, and it’s exciting. Using fat grafting, Dr. Cassileth will literally remove unwanted fat from your thighs, abdomen or torso and transfer that fat to your breasts, making them larger, more shapely and beautiful. If you want to increase your breasts by one cup size, and lose unwanted fat into the bargain, this is a procedure that you should consider.
